If you look up the specific chain on the manufacturers website it should give you filing spec's, often there will be a chart with the spec's for all their common chains. As Philbert mentioned, if you're using a grinder you may find it more straight forward to "adapt" the hand file angles/file sizes to your grinder angles/wheel sizes
